The 35-year-old has taken to social media to send a message of support to his brother, Jason, and his wife Kylie

Travis Kelce has shared an emotional response to the death of his brother Jason and sister-in-law Kylie's dog Baloo.

The Irish wolfhound passed away almost exactly a year after the family's other dog Winnie died.


Kylie announced the sad news in a heartbreaking Instagram post, just a day before her 33rd birthday.

Travis was among the first to comment on the announcement, posting a pair of crying emojis to express his devastation.

Jason and Travis' mother Donna also offered her condolences, commenting: "My heart goes out to you!!!!"

Kylie's emotional post detailed how she explained Baloo's passing to her daughter Ellie.

"When I told the girls that Baloo was going to leave us, Ellie asked where he was going," Kylie wrote.

"I told her that he was going to heaven and without skipping a beat she replied, 'Oh! He'll get to be with Winnie again! They'll be so happy to see each other!'"

Kylie described Baloo as "the goofiest, sweetest, most lovable, and tolerant dog" she'd ever met.

"He wanted nothing more than carbs and pets," she added.

"The heartbreak is immense, but as Ellie so perfectly pointed out, the Winnie-Bubba reunion had to be pure magic."

Baloo and Winnie were both Irish wolfhounds, with Kylie previously describing Winnie as her "first born child".

Ardent fans of the Kelce family may remember Baloo for his appearances on the brothers' podcast New Heights.

The large dog once famously gatecrashed an episode, prompting a surprised reaction from Travis.

"Goddamn, what the f**k is that?" Travis said upon seeing Baloo, before laughing as the dog climbed onto Jason's sofa.

"Oh nice, he just wanted to get on that nice cool leather couch. Pet him, you gotta pet him, you can't just let him in!" Travis told his brother.
